bag of Mexican weed locked in the glovebox - $40

jumping in the car and gunning the gas down a dead end street with a cop hanging onto your steering wheel for dear life - PRICELESS

LINK

quote:

The Florida State's Attorney's Office said the incident happened May 9 when Orlando Police Officer Sean Murphy pulled over 25-year-old Zavier Askew because his vehicle had an expired tag. The officer said he observed a broken window and what he suspected to be marijuana inside the vehicle.

When the officer searched the car, he said he discovered a bag of marijuana in the vehicle's glove box. Askew then attempted to run away, jumping into the driver's seat of the car as the officer also ran to the vehicle, where he ended up dangling out of the driver's window.


quote:

Authorities say Askew then sped down a dead-end road as the officer continued to yell at him, warning him that he was going to crash.

Murphy then had to tuck his legs in as Askew struck a parked car on the driver's side, officials said.

“Dude, I thought he was going to take my legs off,” he could be heard saying in the video after checking to make sure he was ok.

Reminds me of the kid from Germantown who did this in Oxford. Except it was coke he had, and he ran over the police officer killing him. This guy is lucky he didn't kill the cop too, the kid in Oxford got 25 years

Damn, that was crazy. If I was the cop i would have been outta there before he could get any kind of momentum. Call for backup and chase his arse from the relative safety of my own squad car.

What’s sad is, the driver is setting themselves up for an extreme charge over some petty stuff.

Weed really doesn’t even get prosecuted at all anymore.

And then, if the officer could have gotten to his gun and shot the driver, the officer is completely justified because dragging someone down the road can easily cause death.

So, yes, it’s stupid for the officer to go extra for just weed and then it’s even way way way more stupid for the driver to drag the officer

None of this would have transpired if dumbfrick hadn't been driving a car with an expired tag and broken window (probable cause for a traffic stop), but "muh weed!" Driver numbnuts is the one who decided to run and make matters worse and endanger lives.

He's lucky the officer wasn't able to pull his pistol or we'd have another police killing of an "unarmed black man." One of my former co-workers at LSP ended up on the hood of a car on I-10 in St. John the Baptist Parish and shot and killed the driver through the windshield.

Yeah you're right. Train him to not escalate a fricking expired sticker to a situation where he almost gets killed. Pull the guy over, say get your sticker up to date and send him on. Every car that is stopped does not need to be searched.

At least it didn't cost him this time.
